Internet Phone Services Simplified

One of the fastest-growing uses of the Internet is consumer Voice-over-IP services, allowing users to make and receive calls using high-speed broadband services, as an alternative to traditional phone services. VoIP and Internet phone service have been around for years. Now, because computing power is cheaper and Internet connections are faster, it is hard to tell a VoIP phone from a regular phone.

This makes for great user advantages including tremendous costs savings of Internet phone services, which are traditionally based on a flat low monthly rate for unlimited calls. Internet Phone Services Simplified is a straightforward, graphic-based home network reference book specializing in consumer Internet phone services, such as Vonage, for the everyday user. Internet Phone Services Simplified follows the same format as best-selling Home Networking Simplified and Cisco Networking Simplified to take novice users from no or limited understanding of Voice over IP (VoIP) to the point where they can comfortably make the leap to an Internet-based phone service.

The primary goal of the book is to provide a comfort level whereby readers can confidently select and install the consumer VoIP service that is right for them.
